Local TV news broadcaster with hardly any RS, just profile pages. Although well known in the west country, he's probably notable anywhere else. If more RS can be found, article has scope to remain. - Funky Snack (Talk) 12:46, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Broadcasters do not get an automatic Wikipedia inclusion freebie just because their own staff profiles on the self-published websites of their own employers verify that they exist — the notability test is the reception of substantive reliable source coverage in media outlets that don't sign his paycheque. The awards might be valid notability claims if they could be properly referenced as notable awards that get media coverage, but are still not instant "inherent notability" passes that would exempt him from actually having to have any reliable source coverage.
